The Importance of this fact, aside from a^f^sentiment In regard to the feaifeswgd songsters, is that without the birds we should soon be eaten up by insect pests. Of course, the more *re know about the migratory birds and jtheir travels, the better we can treat them. Therefore, bird-banding serves a useful purpose. Ap lli4 The United States Department of Agriculture ig&&'.-.|»aa Just published department circular 170, "In- Itructions for Bird-Banding," by Frederick C. Lini- j i.<•». <cola, assistant biologist of the bureau of biologist * **al survey. This circular says, by way of iritro- ^ Eduction, that bird-banding in America dates from %he early years of the Nineteenth century, when ||^--ilAudubon placed silver threads around the legs ?' -• .f a brood of phoebes, and was rewarded the foli ^ lowing season by having two of bis birds return y ' ' Ao nest in the same vicinity. ^ In Europe bird-banding was^attempted as early |£> as 1710, but it was not uiiti> 1889 that it was un- K;-,. " <dertaken systematically, between that year and 1914 about 20 different organizations took up the jjgV-- "work, and their activities have developed much ?valuable information. In the United States active experimental work *£< \ was begun in 1901, and between that year and W' 5t"' 1909 several local attempts at bird-banding were -^eithei* planned or prosecuted. One of these, by I*5 the New Haven (Conn.) Bird club, wtts reported |T? to the annual meeting of the American Ornitholovf « " jgists* union-in 1909, with the result that the Amer- ||C 'Scan Bird-Banding association was organized in * iNew York City on December 8, of that year. This iC'-Association continued to advance the work (dur- «/tlng the last few years under the auspices Of the p. -.,* - Unnaean Society of New York) until It outgrew ?£*'* the resources available. 1 i" Because of the valuable Information to be sell" -cured relative to the movements and life histories Ip^;our migratory birds, especially the game and p',* {Insectivorous species, the work of# the association |v t ,was taken over by the biological survey In 1920. i, „ Vill is the plan of the surtey to advance this method jNttot research along two principal lines: First, by ithe banding of fledglings as formerly practiced; t land second, by the systematic trapping and band- -0??tilng of adults. fJ Through bird-banding operations, as carried on in Europe and America, large numbers of mlgra- ^^fttory birds have been banded, and data of consld- V^Jjerable Importance obtained during the last 20 years. In the United States these activities have &*.•" ^received added Impetus within the last year or jgtwo, through the evolution of the method of syst hematic trapping. Birds have been marked In vai %-lous ways, but the most satisfactory is by means lof a numbered aluminum band or ring, attached 'to the tarsus, or bare portion of the leg. The ap- IpUcation of a stain or dye to the flight or tail ^feather*, the attaching of memoranda written on ^parchment, and various other devices have been Itried in the past, but are not satisfactory for any , I , Igeneral Investigation. .*5# flixAa »t i* the returns from birds banded that w ^furnish "the data desired In this branch of rejj search, it 1» of prime importance that the methods 'jipiiil "<» *»• Improved and that the percentage jrfBhfi under observation be increased. Nothing IS lliaa ieen found more satisfactory to the accomipUrtinent of this than systemised trapping. As t ^the handing of fledgllnga has the advantage of yagordlag'saluahle information on the ages of birds, • %the biological survey wishes to encourage these "•} ^activities, but it desires to lay special emphasis v SjOn the added value of the systematic trapping of * £ (adults. Federal permit tor this work. » reQiiuwi, ^nnder the provisions of the migratory-bird treaty ct. Application for such permit should be ,adto the bureau of biological survey. United States Department' .of Agriculture, Wtshingta*, v T>. C. • With the establishment of a well-connected chain of trapping stations throughout the United States . and Canada, regular "returns" are confidently expected through reports of retrappfng birds that were banded at the original and other stations. Data' thus afforded are already indicating the exact line of migration of Individual birds, the spe^d 'of travel, and innumerable Items of Interest, map? of which have a direct bearing upon the study Of Mfe histories. A lively interest attaches to the work -in that each operator of a station Is In a continual state of anticipation through the knowf" edge that birds banded at other stations may any time be registered at his own traps. , , . The bands issued by the biological survey are of tWo types, a split-ring band (sizes 1 to 6, incluslTfc) far ail small birds, Including those of the size of crows, small owls, and herons; and a flat-strip band that is adjustable for all larger birds. For general land bird trapping, the government sparrow trap has been found the most satisfactory. Other traps (there are several that may be pur- . cnased In the op«% market) may also give satisfaction, but theM; Is a distinct advantage in having a standard /type that birds may come to recognize as a source of food, and for this reason It IS recommended that this trap be used. The circular contains speafloations sufficient fc® enable anyone with moderate skill in the use of tools (tin snips, pliers, file, and hammer) to construct the "government" sparrow trap In a tours and at a nominal cost. ^ Problems that can be solved by bird banding dude these: How fast do the Individuals of any species travel on their periodic migrations; that Is, how many miles' per day will tony one bird average during these journeys .and what is the total time consumed in a trip? *. Does any one flock continue In the van ©r is the advance made by successive flocks passing one over other in alternate periods of rest and flight? Do individuals of any species always follow the. same route, and Is It Identical for both spring and fall flights? - Do migrating birds make tip same stop-ovetf •fery year^o feed? /flow long do birds remain in one locality during till migration, the breeding, or the winter seasons? What Is jthe relation between the breeding and the wintering grounds of individuals; that Is. do those birds that breed farthest north winter tar^ thest south, thus Jumping over those that occupy tike intermediate zone, or do they merely replace the latter individuals as winter residents? Do birds adopt the same nesting urea, nest site, and winter quarters during successive seasons? ' Por how many broods will one pair remain Anted, and which bird. If i\ot both. Is attract**! MXt year to the old nesting sltet To what extent do males of a species assist tl * ^iMubatlon and brooding? • Row far from their nests do birds forage far food, and after the young have left the nest, wfll Che parent birds bring them to' the feeding and topping station? To what region do the birds go, particularly the young, that do not rettfrn to the vicinity if their original nests? • • How lone dn 8»Wj ||w»? .for the solution of these and related problems. It )s Important that the traps always be set on the original site, for birds already have returned to the same traps through four or five consecutive seasons. Many "returns" will. In the course of ttmie. afford answers to the Important problems bate presented. In handling small birds the utmost care moat be exercised. It is of vital importance that they be so handled that they may be liberated in perfect condition. Almost without exception they are higiiiy nervous, and a qnlck pressure by the Operator following some spasmodic struggle of the bird majr kill it Instantly or so seriously Injure It aa to make its destruction oeeeassrr- Farther more, it must be remembered that If the data to bo secured from the banding of birds are to be of value, the carriers must be strong and healthy ard < not handicapped in any way. Under no condltl jns 3 may their movements be considered as aversge. To remove a bird from the gathering cp.ge for banding, reach into the cage (blocking t'.ie opening around the arm with the other >>and) and work the bird into a corner. It will pimost surely be facing away from the operator. Grasp It in such manner as to pinion Its mck between the ' thumb and Index finger, and t^e wing tips, tail, and feet by the little finger cIomm! against the pulm. In this position the bird may be held quietly, without using undue force. Strangely epough. securing the bird's head or neck will almost Invariably cause It. to cease struggling. If the bird is already banded and only a simple examination Is necessary, this position need not be changed, as with the Angers of the free hand the band may be readily turned and the number read. Or, the bird may be allowed to perch on the little finger, the neck secured between two ' lingers, as before. To place tn position for banding, grasp the bird's • head lightly but securely with the thumb and the index and second fingers of the other hand; release all other hold and by quickly reversing the position of the bird, draw it through the free hand with Its back against the palm and close the little finger over The neck, and the other fingers around the body. This position Is exactly the reverse of the original one, in that the bird's feet, wings, and tall are now secured by the second finger, where » formerly this was accomplished by the little finger against the palm. The thumb and Index fingers i are now free to secure und hold the tarsus while "attaching the band. For larger and more powerful birds this method will not answer, of course, but securing the bird's head will In almost evecj case prove the key to the situation. With ducks aild other birds of similar size, this is best riccomplfshed by resting the < bird on the forearm a^d hand, held horizontally • across the body of the operator, the head and neck passing to the rear under the upper arm, which secures them. This leaves both hands free to hold the feet and wing tips and attach the band. Always select the smallest-Steed band that will close around the tarsus (the bare portion of the foot or leg immediately above the toes) without fitting so tightly as to bind or chafe. The band should move freely up and down and turn lightly and smoothly, but It should not fit loosely like a bracelet. A pair o( small, pointed pliers, such as opticians use, are practically indispensable for this work. Do not attempt to band birds recently hatched or but a few days old; wait until they are fully fledged young blrtis and are about ready to leave the uesu^ The legs of most fully fledged young birds are larger and jnore fleshy than those of the adults, so that no allowance for growth heed be made. Water birds are an exception to this rule. Adjustable flat-strip bands, having considerable thickness and equipped with a special locking device, require rather more skill to attach. The pointed pliers, before mentioned, are absolutely necessary and in addition a pair of stout scissors or a pair of diagonal wire cutters will be needed to trim off excess length. The band may first be roughly shaped around a finger and then opened sufficiently to admit the bird's leg. It is now pressed together and Its diameter reduced to the point where It fits smoothly. The second pair of nibs from the lock end are next bent over and pinched tight with the pliers. The strip Is now bent back, the bend pinched together as close ns possible, and locked with the first pair : of locking nibs. The excess length of tne band Is : then trimmed off and tfie end pressed down smooth- See that the number is on the outside. Attaching these bands requires care and patience, fer the stiffness of the metal is sufficient to-break a bird's leg if not properly handled--put all pressure on the band and not on the leg and there will be no' trouble. Write down the band number at once; do not trust to memory. A band wrongly read may totally disqualify what otherwise would be a most valuable set of data. Each collaborator should keep a permanent record of his operations. Report results frequently.

While this is at present an added expense, Dr. L D. Jtawllngs, director of health, points out it will ultimately prove an economy for every case of diphtheria prevented by the use of toxin-antitoxin will save the cost of the treatment of the case with antitoxin, which, for a number of years has been furnished free by the state. The average cost to the state for the material for immunizing a susceptible child against diphtheria is 50 cents, while the average expense to the state for the antitoxin to treat a case at diphtheria Is sbout $2. Illinois Is one of the few states In the country which have taken this progressive step In the prevention of diphtheria. Sprifrgfleld.--Fifteen cases of Infantile paralysis were reported to the state department of public health, according to the weok!y report, which was forwarded to Washington. They are scattered throughout the state and parents and physicians have been urged to be on the lookout for symptoms of the disease. The report shows that one case was reported from Springfield, but six were under quarantine. One case was reported from Elklvirt township, Logan county; one from Tallula, one from JacksonvUIe and another from Waverly precinct in Morgan county. Of the total of 89 cases of sellrI it fever, lfe were in the city of Ch'oago. Of the 106 cases of dlphthe- Hi 80 were from Chicago.

The small auxiliary plants will take care of the distribution of the surplus milk and also will offer assistance In getting the milk to the retail consumer In better sliape. The Co-opemtlve association Is composed of 2.000 fanners. It was organized late this spring. Waukegan.--Half a hundred farmers living southwest of this city sought to Lynch Charles Flament, an aged farmer and his son, Peter, who were wounded In a shotgun battle with neighbors in an argument over a herd of cattle. The farmers, armed with rifles and shotguns and dragging a rope, swooped dov/n upon the Flament farm just as the sheriff and two deputies were removing the pair to a hospital. Drawing revolvers, the three officials forced the crowd back and rushed the wounded men Into an automobile. Springfield.--Illinois National Guard troops now in training at Camp Logan are receiving most efficient instruction by federal army officers, according to Adjutant General Frank. S.

The report reaching state headquarters is to the effect that the movement for a second district in IlUno!- is being pushed in the southern Illinois coal district, where approximately 48,000 coal miners are employed. President Frank Farrington of the Illinois miners In the circular letter appeals to the members to keep the one district together In the Interest of unity and because of the fact that the present district, which take* In the entire state, is one of the largest In the national organization. The southern Illinois coal fields la which the new district movement la purported to have taken shape. Is mainly composed of the counties of Franklin, Saline, Williamson, Perry, White. Jefferson. Jackson and other counties tn that section of the state. Chicago.--Illinois farm lands, which soared in price along with the inflation of most everyiuing during the war, are receding in value, according to the almost unanimous opinion of farmers in the state. The Illinois Agricultural association through its 90 county bureaus has made an Investigation of this question and practically all farmers In the state agree that the average cash value of land on April 1, 1921, was about the same as the average cash value on April 1. 1918. The exact figures of the estimated valuations In the various counties, as fixed by the estimates of the farmers, will not be made public by the state agricultural association until it is determined exactly what use is to be made of them. Hoopeston.--Efforts to recover land and other subscriptions made to the trustees of Greer college have culminated In sAilts in tWs^ffiri'ult, court. Due to shortage of finances, the college has been closed and the buildings are utilized for the city high school. This action, the heirs of the men who subscribed for the college assert, nullifies their donations. John Greer was a wealthy farmer., He provided In his will for the erection of the college and left 500 acres of land as an endowment. The trustees' effort to Increase the endowment was without success. Both sides have engaged lawyers and a bitter legal fight Is In sight Springfield.--Governor Small awarded contracts for nearly 109 miles of hard roads at a total cost of $2,734,028, or a record breaking low cost average of $28,620 a mile complete with cement Included. Both the mileage and the low cost broke all records for single lettings, and demonstrated that the governor's battle for "maximum mileage at minimum cost" Is establishing new records. The total mileage of the combined awards was 95.53, and the average cost Is well under the maximum of $30,000, above which the governor had said the state would not pay. Springfield.--The Cook county grand jury may be asked to make inquiry Into reported "leaks" by which applicants for state licenses secured advance Information regarding examinations to which they were to be subjected. W. H. H.

A. Fries, assistant In professional education, would be presented to the "proper authorities." Springfield.--Fourth of July fireworks were responsible fof 40 Illinois flres, according to reports received by John G. Gamber, state fire marshal. A score of Injuries and three deaths were reported. Two who died were girls, one Igniting her dress from firecrackers. and the other having a bunch of firecrackers explode In her hands. Most of the flres were Inconsequential, the total loss amounting to about $5,000. Last year's Fourth of July loss was $25,603.50, caused by 30 flres. Springfield.--Taxicab companies In downstate cfties and towns are not compelled to file a bohd with the secretary of state, as the new law requiring such bond applies only t<} the city of Chicago. From the numerous queries that have been received the impression apparently had been created that all companies should furnish a bond.
